Rare and iconic modernist floor lamp model K46 designed by Kho Liang Ie and manufactured by Artiforte, Holland 1957. This very hard to find lamp has a very nice Japanese minimalistic look, 3 square black lacquered solid metal bars holding a rice paper shade in the middle for very nice warm diffused light. This lamp has a TL lamp for warm light when lit, can be changed easily in a wanted color tone. This lamp was made in very small numbers, all lamps are hand built. This lamp has square massive feet and it’s still in very good original vintage condition with very nice patina from age. The original shade which is mostly damages only has a few marks at the back, see pictures.

This lamp is checked in our own atelier, cleaned and is suitable for use in the USA. For US usage we could change the plug or you can get a converter if needed for a floor or table lamp with transformer in it. Feel free to inquire for options.
